Home Slate

Serve up some state pride at your next soiree with a slate silhouette of your home turf or favorite place to visit by Steven Chavez and Justin English. Cut and polished from all-natural slate, each board bears distinctive marks and stays naturally cool to keep cheeses at the ideal temperature for slicing and serving. The surface also makes handsome backdrop for appetizers hot and cold. An endlessly rewritable surface, slate can be marked with the included chalk, so you can add delectable details about each offering and how best to enjoy it. Made in Denver, Colorado.

About 80% of all soapstone quarried is deemed waste or scrap material. In an effort to regain control of this waste and turn it into something useful, Steven Chavez and Justin English set out to clean up the quarries and find a purpose for the discarded stone.

Soapstone is one of the most effective natural materials on earth for conducting and retaining temperature, so Steven and Justin turned to these natural properties to handcraft a beautiful line of soapstone kitchen and barware. They've recently expanded into stainless steel, bringing the same level of sophisticated design and utility to entertaining ware. Their company is based in Denver, where the majority of the products are handcrafted.

photo is misleading.... it can hold a small piece of cheese and a few blueberries and sprig of rosemary... but i was hoping to put a couple of cheeses and crackers and be able to write the different types of cheeses with chalk... but there is no room. i love the uniqueness of it though....so i would probably recommend it with reservation...

I was trying to separate the board from the vacuum sealed packaging and in trying to pull off the plastic, a large piece of the cheese board broke off. It's a great idea but poorly constructed. It's very fragile and I regret my purchase.

Was this a gift?:

No

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Merchant response:We're so sorry that happened and we'd be happy to replace that for you. While slate naturally does shear horizontally in nature, the vendor tries to choose the strongest pieces of slate to work with. Sorry that this piece wasn't quite up to snuff! Please contact our customer service team at 888-365-0056 or help@uncommongoods.com so we can get your replacement out the door!
